The focal point of any good dining room is the dining room table. For our wedding my Aunt & Uncle gave us a beautiful mahogany table passed down from my Uncle's Mother. Unfortunately when we bought our first house the dinning room was much too small to fit the table, but my parents were kind enough to store the set for us until now. The table had been very well taken care of, but did have a couple of scratches and heat stained areas.
In terms of dining room storage we were able to reuse the sideboard from the old house. The woods don't match perfectly, but they do compliment one another.
